--- Comment #3 from Tom Rhodes <trhodes at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hi,

Well, one way to pull the current kernel is uname(1), for an older kernel, the
"ident" information may be pulled with strings(1):

root at ember:/boot/kernel # strings kernel | grep ident
[SNIP]
ident   GENERIC

Do you think the handbook needs to explain how to identify the current and
previous kernels?
